Abstract

The emergence of what is called physical modeling and model-based sound synthesis is closely related to the development of computational simulations of plucked string instruments. Historically, the first physical approaches (Hiller and Ruiz 1971a, 1971b; McIntyre and Woodhouse 1979; McIntyre, Schumacher, and Woodhouse 1983) were followed by the Karplus-Strong (KS) algorithm (Karplus and Strong 1983). The KS algorithm was discovered as a simple computational technique that seemingly had nothing to do with physics. Soon thereafter, Julius Smith and David Jaffe showed a deeper understanding of its relation to the physics of the plucked string (Smith 1983; Jaffe and Smith 1983). Later, Julius Smith generalized the underlying ideas of the KS algorithm by introducing the theory of digital waveguides (Smith 1987). Digital waveguides are physically relevant abstractions yet computationally efficient models, not only for plucked strings, but for a variety of one-, two-, and three-dimensional acoustic systems (Van Duyne and
